Corrected entry: When Caesar tries to throw the grenade, he takes out the pin, then he gets the arrow in his chest. The grenade touches the ground but doesn't explode, he takes it again and throws it at the fuel tank, and now it does explode.

1 corrected entry
Directed by: Matt Reeves
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn, Judy Greer, Andy Serkis
Continuity mistake: When the bald soldier gets into the cage of the apes, the amount of mud on his face changes between shots.
The Colonel: All of human history has lead to this moment. The irony is we created you. And nature has been punishing us ever since. This is our last stand. And if we lose... it will be a Planet of Apes.
Trivia: In the opening scene, one of the soldiers has "Bedtime for Bonzo" written on his helmet. This is a reference to the film with Ronald Reagan about an intelligent chimp.

Correction: The grenade that he threw isn't an impact grenade and wouldn't go off just because it hit the ground. And pulling the pin doesn't activate the detonator either. Once the striker lever is released the percussion cap is struck, activating a chemical delay (or fuse). The delay on average is 2-6 seconds, but it could be longer depending on how it was made.
